Software Engineer Student Interview Experience

Process

Home assignment via the Google interface. Was given two coding questions that didn't seem too tricky, but I didn't pass. Both solutions were O(n), so I don't know exactly why. I recommend looking up tricks and small things that they are looking for to know.

Questions

One code question was to sort numbers in some order and to collect points. A simple scan in O(n) seemed to work.
